  • Patent number: 11575221
    Abstract: Junction box for connecting a multi-wire flat cable to several terminals of a connection. The junction box comprises a support surface for a multi-wire flat cable to be contacted, and several contact blades for contacting the cable on one side without stripping the insulation. In addition, the junction box comprises several terminals, and several terminal rails adjoining the terminals, wherein each terminal rail has at least one hole, wherein a contact pin is inserted through a respective hole in a terminal rail. In each case, a contact pin is provided for a wire-to-terminal contact. The assignment of contact pins to the holes in the terminal rails defines which wire of the flat cable is connected to which terminal. An electrical contact is established between contact blades and terminal rails via one or more contact pins.

  • Patent number: 8895853
    Abstract: A cable tray preserving cable support functionality under fire impact, including a bed for laying and supporting at least one cable. The bed is made from fire resistant textile woven material which is embedded in resin. The textile woven material is provided on both sides with respect to the longitudinal direction of the cable tray with a fire resistant attachment device. The attachment devices are coupled to the textile woven material, wherein, with burned-off resin, the attachment devices remain coupled to the textile woven material to take up tension force from the textile woven material when the textile woven material extends like a hammock between the attachment devices to still support the at least one cable. An installation kit for an electrical installation, and an electrical installation with cable trays of this sort are also described.
